mapmyride

[stephen.rooke]

has anyone used map my ride on android for navigation, im looking for something to create a file for the route on my pc and for the phone to give me directions while recording the data to be imported into strava.

any infor or reviews would be good. ill be using headphones to hear the voice directions

I've only used My Tracks and only just started exporting it to google. I use a map for navigating, that way I get to stand and swear a lot a country crossroads without being arrested. And if I'm really tired i can always pretend I'm checking my route.

Not sure what navigation tool you could use for importing a route then having a proper 'sat nav' type speech to advise on turnings.
For plotting a route I tend to use ridewithgps.com as it seems to offer a bit more flexibility if you need to alter the route once plotted. I have used bikeroutetoaster and mapmyride in the past.
you can download a GPX file on all three of them but I don't know of any apps/devices to give verbal directions.
(I upload routes to my Garmin Dakota 10 and run them so get the same visual sat nav but no voice)

Give a search on the forum for android app. There's been a recent thread. Sorry couldn't give a link using the iPhone (much better than droid cough)
